Critical recommendations

high Batting
Getting starts but not surviving

Adjusted average of 9.9 over 60 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.

high Batting
Vulnerable to the straight ball

34 of 53 dismissals are bowled/LBW — likely playing across the front pad or leaving a gate. Work on a straighter bat path and head position over the ball.

medium Batting
High duck rate

Out for 0 in 18% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.

medium Fielding
Low overall fielding impact

0.22 dismissals per match across 67 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.

Strengths

How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 28 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 46 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.30 for the level played (Club 67). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
No match in the last 2 years, so not ranked. The rating shown is from the career.
Fielding
Outfield: 14 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 67 matches — 0.22 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 60 innings at 9.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
52 wickets in 57 matches bowled in (of 67 played) — 0.91 per match at 27.2, economy 4.15, strike rate 39.3.
